How to sail this Spring
It’s easy to sail this Spring.
Do you need previous Sailing experience?
- No, we show show how easy it is and you where can you sail in the Spring. The crew onboard delight in helping you get to grips with sailing.
- You will only be asked to do something once you have been trained and a crew member will be on hand to help you.
- There is no reason that within a few hours of joining you could not be steering the ship, helping set the sails and loads of other ‘hands on’ sailing activities.

What to wear to keep dry and warm sailing in the spring.
- If this is your first voyage we recommend you DO NOT buy special sailing kit.
- To keep dry, bring with you something that keeps your head, body and legs dry, walking or hiking kit is fine.
- Footwear,our ships are not luxury yachts, clean wellington boots and trainers are good.
- To keep warm bring lots of layers, if it’s cold on deck you will not be asked to stay there too long.
- Don’t forget your sunscreen, the clear air at sea let’s the power of the sun though
